For its fall-winter 2025-26 collection, Collina Strada fuses feminine heritage and bold future with fashion that is both protective and fluid.

For the fall/winter 2025-26 collection, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_collina/?hl=fr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hillary Taymour</a> , the designer behind <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/vous-n-allez-plus-quitter-les-pieces-desigual-x-collina-strada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Collina Strada</a> , unveiled a bold, futuristic vision of femininity, titled “Fempire.” The new range pays homage to women of the past and present, while imagining those of tomorrow in a more fluid and liberated world. The collection is distinguished by an edgier, bolder energy than usual, marked by protective silhouettes and bold accessories like oversized sunglasses and layered garments. The show, held in a Chelsea studio, saw pieces that question and redefine femininity in all its forms. Through elegant layering and contrasting fabric combinations, such as lace against denim or ruffles along shoes, Hillary Taymour managed to fuse classic materials like silk and satin with heavier textures, like wool or corduroy, for an effect that was both fluid and protective. The message of the collection is clear: in the face of the harsh realities of the present, it is necessary to arm ourselves to protect our femininity while leaving room for the freedom to express ourselves. The opening words of the show notes, such as “Matriarchy, Gyneco-cracy, Queen-dependence,” define the very essence of the presentation, where models walk an all-white runway, embodying a radical vision of the future. Through pieces that reinterpret vintage wedding dresses, often salvaged from New Jersey thrift stores, and a collaboration with <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/bao-family-x-puma-un-maillot-rouge-flamboyant-pour-celebrer-le-nouvel-an-chinois" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PUMA</a> , the designer celebrates women’s heritage while reinventing it for the future. Accessories, like giant sunglasses and protective headwear, recall a world where femininity, queerness, and diversity are not only tolerated, but celebrated. The show ends on a note of hope, encouraging us to imagine a world where femininity is not limited to a set of strict rules, but is revealed in its most beautiful contradiction: both soft and strong, private and public, illuminating and dark. &quot;Fempire&quot; is an invitation to claim your space and be the star that you are, while paving the way for others.
